"The videos feature McMahon wearing a tracksuit, being chauffeured around Los Angeles in a Cadillac Escalade golf cart and waxing lyrical about his very public financial troubles." - Andrew Badera

Foie gras is the tastiest (is that a word?) thing that I've eaten, next to really good oysters. I so want to try Kobe beef steak. - Alan Le
Consumed 55 here...Still haven't had Foie gras...Incidentally, if you've never had Sweetbreads, it's for sure something you HAVE to try...especially Mexican style...(we call them Mollejas down here.) - Sean McGee
There should just be one item in this list: 1) Go eat at The French Laundry. - Scott Koon

If you're gonna spend that much, Per Se in Manhattan ftw. French Laundry = not worth it, imho. - Mona N.
Yah, either way Mona. Maybe it should be "Have Thomas Keller cook for you" - Scott Koon

I've had alligator. Is that close enough to crocodile? - Morton Fox
Only had 19 and probably won't grow much. I have texture issues, lol - ::Kristen::
I heard Thomas Keller never stands in the kitchen anymore :( But for Napa, Ad Hoc is more reasonable AND it's soul food. YEAH! :) - Mona N.
ashamed to say that I don't know who's thomas keller is. Wikipedia to the rescue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T... . Didn't know that he and his brother started Buchon. I had the foie gras there a few years back. - Alan Le
Alan, if you ever need food / restaurant recs, let me know. Though I'm quite picky and refuse to dine at places where the value : quality ratio is off. ie: Just because a place hits a 'list', it doesn't mean it's worth it. SF is infamous for places like that. Over priced and Over rated. - Mona N.
good to know. So what's a good steak place in the city (SF) that's not overpriced? - Alan Le
There are people who haven't eaten Pho? Oh right - I live in Vancouver. Also? There's no way on God's Green Earth that I'm going to eat blood sausage *or* calamari. Or foie gras. - ☺ Cecily ☺
In SF? LOL No where... :( -- but then again, I only like Rib Eye (medium rare). If you're a Prime Rib fan, I might now a few places. :) - Mona N.
@Cecily: Calamari aren't bad at all...the problem is that most places don't know how to cook them. Squid should be cooked, as Batali is fond of saying, 2 minutes or 2 hours...anything in between is rubbery. - Sean McGee
Who do I gotta kill to get a reservation at Per Se? - Karim
I think that people that eat steak medium or welldone are missing out. no good steakhouses in 'frisco? aw shucks. what's your fav local restaurant then (any type)? - Alan Le
People pay top $$$ for 'good' steak and when it's charred, the flavor is destroyed :\. Even worse, is the crime of drowning expensive steak with A-1 :\ x 8397242983! My fav. local restaurant = Koo. (sushi) :) http://flickr.com/search/?w=al... - Mona N.
I've had 42. More if I can count beignets, elephant ears, and funnel cakes separately. :) - ha3rvey
Wow, Kaolin and Fugu are the only two on the list I have not had. A couple were minor variations to the descriptions, but close enough to count. - JodyC
I've had about 27 thanks in large part to living in Hong Kong which accounted for the majority of my list, save for the roadkill venison (does that count double?) - Andrew Leyden
I've had all but about 13 and couple others are close enough to probably count or I'm not sure about. - Charles
I've had 51, which I think is a lot for someone who isn't adventurous and used to be very picky. Wondering why isn't salmon sashimi on the list.. - Hannah
Sean, I can't eat calamari because -- and I'm not kidding -- I don't like the way the word squid sounds. I can call it calamari, but I know it's *squid*, and thus I'm not eating it. - ☺ Cecily ☺
Nope, happens to me all the time. At least I will have a chuckle when the world endls with a misspelt "hardon" on all the news sites. - Hannes BrandstätterMüller

I've never done that before... but will certainly do it from now on. Thanks so much. - Herb
I think Joey from Friends is giggling to himself as wel.. - David Clements
"What do people think of Windows Vista when they don't know it's Windows Vista? We disguised Windows Vista as code name "Mojave", the "next Microsoft OS,", so regular people who've never used Windows Vista could see what it can do -- and decide for themselves." - Gary Burd
@otto the mojava experiment probably reaches a broader audience in flash than SL - Alan Le
I'm still using XP on both desktop and notebook computers at home. Vista will probably come bundled with a future new computer, if I haven't switched to a different platform by then. - Morton Fox
@otto @a7an Not to mention the target audience for this site probably doesn't care one way or another. :-) - Jordan Hofker
I'm interested in seeing how bloggers react to this, since many of them are responsible for what MSFT is calling misinformation about Vista. Will anyone say "I was wrong"? - Alan Cheslow
@jhofker good point. I like the video wall effect that they did. - Alan Le
Otto: maybe they will reveal that it is written in Silverlight, and only pretending to be Flash - Joshua Allen
Of course average people think it looks nice and works great when they see it for the first time, but that doesn't mean it's good. You must use it for some time and compare it to other OSes.. - Peter
